an interesting point of comparison between Paisiello's Barber of Seville and Rossini's-in Paisiello's, the Count is brilliant sociopath and what makes him desire to acquire Rosina as a wife is her "wit" (spirito) and "fire" matching his. In Rossini's, the Count is a sweet boy with a room temp IQ and he can only articulate beauty as being the reason he is desperate to be in the same room as Rosina. Somehow of the two the one who likes the girl for her personality over her looks is the shallow one
in reply to Manuela Malasaña

Going back to do some scenes from Rossini's Barber in English after having spent so much time in Paisiello's Barber it's extremely striking how desperate and vulnerable Rossini's Count is. Over and over we get inner monologues in which he tells us each moment separated from his beloved is distressing to him. versus Paisiello's Count who thinks having Rosina as a wife would be an excellent addition to his collection of valuable possessions and never has a moment of vulnerability in the whole show
in reply to Manuela Malasaña

I can kinda see why people lost their shit at the 1816 premiere of Rossini's Barber because if I only knew Paisiello's Barber I would not be expecting *that*

Fear is being weaponised in UK politics, but there is another way.

💡 The Tri-Axis Model asks of every decision:
🌍 Is it best for society?
🌱 Is it best for the environment?
⚖️ Does it follow the ethical framework?

From fear to ethics, reclaiming power together.

#TIL about #ResonateHQ;

resonatehq.io/

No, not the moribund music streaming co-op, the developers describe their project as;

"An open-source implementation of Distributed Async Await."

An open protocol described in a diagram here;

resonatehq.io/distributed-asyn…

... which extends the pre-existing Async Await.

(Yes, I learned about all of this for the first time today and I'm still not entirely sure what it is).

Sonnenbaden zwischen Seeminen und Drohnen - Urlaub in Odessa

Viele Menschen in der Ukraine haben keine andere Wahl, als im Land Urlaub zu machen. Die meisten Männer dürfen nicht ins Ausland reisen - den Familien bleibt nur der Urlaub im Kriegsgebiet. Können sie am Strand von Odessa abschalten? Von Niels Bula.

Nie wiem, jako „lejek” cieszę się, jak w rodzaj utrafię. Tego akurat sam kiedyś szukałem. Oczywiście, można podejść do sprawy bardziej metodycznie:

Noc majowa zakochanego przyrodnika


Słodkie kląskania i trele
Słowik w gałązkach wyczynia
(Erithacus philomele,
Zwany też Aedon luscinia)

Jakaż to trawka majowa
Do twej sukienki przylgnęła?
To kurza noga krajowa
(Portulaca oleracea)

O, jak swawolny wiew igra
Koroneczkami twych falban!
Bez pachnie (Sambucus nigra)
Spójrz - brzoza (Betula alba)

Do różowiutkich twych uszek
Ćwierk jakiś dobiegł niezwykły...
To ptak - świstunka piecuszek,
(Phylloscopus trochilus) zwykły.

Błagania moje wynagródź,
Kocham cię wzniośle i szczytnie!
Daj mi twe usta, a paproć
(Aspidium filix) zakwitnie.

Nie dziw się, że drżę jak młokos,
i płonę w namiętnym szale!
Spójrz, luba, oto żywokost
(Symphytum officinale)!

Libido czuje do ciebie,
Ożenię się, chcę mieć dzieci!...
Oto Bliźnięta na niebie...
Alfa Małego Psa świeci...

Κανείς δεν ξεπερνά το ελληνικό επιχειρηματικό δαιμόνιο.

E. reshared this.

in reply to Jøn Ghùll

The image is a screenshot of a news article from a Greek website. The headline reads "Ηράκλειο: Ενιχερματίας πρέπει χρήματα από λορανδαλιών τουριστών για να τους κάνει εκδόροι και εξασφαλιστεί" (Herakleio: Enichermatisas needs money from tour operators to make them work and ensure). Below the headline, there is a subheading that states "Οι ενισχύτες του Crown Iris έχαξαν πληροφορίες για περιμένουν με ανοιχτό λεφτορείο – Σταθεροί οι επικοινωνίαντες την αφετροπή – Ενέτρεψαν αυτό καρτάβι ευρωιχείνων" (The supporters of Crown Iris have received information about waiting with an open cash register – Stable communication during the break – They returned the euro cards). The image also includes a street scene with buildings, signs, and a clear blue sky. The street scene features a row of shops with signs, including one that says "RIGGETTA" and another that says "Rent a Car." There is also a billboard with a classical painting. The overall layout of the image is typical of a news website, with the headline and subheading in bold text, and the street scene below.

Recovery after fire.

When we finally overthrow billionaires and their deliberate destruction of the planet and their deliberate drive towards global genocide, I think the correct punishment after they’ve had all their wealth removed from them is that they spend the rest of their lives living simply raking the forests just like Donald Trump suggested.

Rotary desicants are of some (if limited) use in some parts of the United States. I live in an area with lots of streams, rivers, creeks, swimming pools, and a few lakes, so humidity can be quite high in the shoulder seasons. My garage's dehumidifier suffers from the freezing issue during spring and autumn when I normally need heat, and the garage isn't "plumbed" for the HVAC system, so I might end up getting a rotary desicant at some point.


We just saw a really gripping film: "Ghost Trail" ("Les Fantômes"), a French political/psychological thriller released in the U.S. this spring.

Syrian expatriate Hamid (breakout Tunisian star Adam Bessa) walks the streets of Strasbourg, France—mostly silent, but haunted by a tortured history, as he searches for a man from his past…

Available for streaming on Apple, Amazon, & more. Immersive, tense, quiet, dangerous. Highly recommended.

The image features a dark green background with vertical lines, reminiscent of a computer screen or a video game interface. At the top, there is white text that reads: "PRESIDENT RONNIE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THE NINJAS. ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE RONNIE?" Below the text, there is a character with blonde hair, wearing sunglasses and a dark jacket with a fur collar. The character's face is partially obscured by the sunglasses, and the overall style suggests a retro video game aesthetic.

Yesterday, among some big willows down by the lake, I saw an amazing phenomenon: the grass was absolutely swarming with yellowjackets (there was one every few inches), and, when I looked up, I saw the trees were too!

They didn't seem to be coming from any particular point. I wondered if it was their Sex Day or something, but though I looked closely I didn't see any mating or really any interaction with each other at all. And in the trees I also saw other insects—bald-faced hornets, mud daubers, potter wasps, even what looked like mini dragonflies. Watching the wasps on the ground, I noticed they seemed to be…licking?

Then I noticed the dark blue giant willow aphids. Not that many on the ground, and the wasps were ignoring them. But then I looked at low-hanging branches and saw clusters of aphids, and then I felt…tiny drops!

There were so many aphids in the willow trees that they were showering the branches, leaves, and ground with honeydew (sugary excretions), in turn attracting wasps feeding on it!

Anyway that was just a cool little thing to figure out.

I'm posting this picture of a glimpse of the George Washington bridge through tree branches, taken from a (for me) path-less-travelled, to see what sort of description @altbot will generate...
in reply to (((Baslow)))

The image depicts a view through a natural foreground of branches and leaves, with a clear blue sky in the background. In the distance, a prominent bridge with a distinctive architectural design is visible, featuring a series of arches and intricate patterns. The bridge appears to be a suspension bridge, with cables and towers that are characteristic of such structures. Behind the bridge, there are tall buildings, including a modern skyscraper with a reflective glass facade. The scene suggests a juxtaposition of nature and urban development, with the bridge and buildings representing the cityscape, while the foliage in the foreground represents the natural environment. The overall composition of the image highlights the contrast between the organic shapes of the trees and the geometric lines of the bridge and buildings.

Still some of my favorite images of Emma I've ever had the good fortune of taking. This was at my very 1st ATL shooters event, and my very 1st time meeting Emma.

Since then, Emma and I have had the chance to work together several times and I'm grateful for her creative spirit.

'The Wizard of the Kremlin' #VeniceFilmFestival
…Assayas wrote in his director’s statement that it, “is not a film about the rise of one man—nor is it about the force with which #power is imposed, or the reinvention of a nation that is both modern & archaic, once again under the yoke of #totalitarianism. Rooted in real, contemporary events, it is instead a reflection on modern #politics —or rather, the smoke screens behind which it now hides: cynical, deceptive, & toxic.”
